Welcome! My name is Abby and this is where I like to share my latest projects. I believe a home should be cosy and inviting, more being more! So if you enjoy playing in your home or garden, making something delicious on your stove, or just mixing things up for the holidays, come on in and have a visit!

In the kitchen we were finding that we were closing the blinds to give our

neighbors below us a little more privacy. In turn, shutting

the sunshine out too!

So, I've come up with a solution for the time being...

a low placed cafe curtain.
It seems like we are still looking down on them in
this picture, but I was standing on the island trying to get a
nice picture of the window, I don't usually do that ;)
But, I never seem to close the blinds
anymore. Lots of light can shine in now.
There was a succulent that sat in the sun on
that window sill, but I couldn't see it anymore so
I 'You Tubed' a how to video
and made a few little mini macrame hangers.
So easy and slightly addictive :)

I hung a little hook with an anchor in the ceiling so it wouldn't crash down
on anyone, I always hate messing with ceiling gyproc,
it's not as easy to repair.

This succulent wasn't getting enough light so
it was stretched right out, reaching.
I cut off the top half and shoved it into
the soil...we'll see if it survives.

And I made another hanger for the dining room.
(addictive)

Macrame hangers can be made from jute,
yarn, or strips of fabric of any kind.
Keep in mind the strips need to be about 1.5 times the length
of your finished product. My windows are longer and I
wanted them to hang a little lower
so I used a LOT of jute.
